Time as DURATION — the stretch a calendar or a clock measures; the root of 'chronology' and 'chronic'. Paired with kairos, its opposite number, in the formal phrase 'times or seasons' (Acts 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:1; and in the Greek of Daniel 2:21). Translations that flatten both words into 'times' lose the point: what the Father holds within his own authority is both the long duration AND the exact hour. ⚠ The word resurfaces at the center of a real translation split late in the New Testament's last book: a mighty angel swears 'that chronos would be no more' (Revelation 10:6), and the shelf divides almost exactly down denominational and chronological lines — KJV/Geneva/Douay all print the literal 'time... no longer' (the reading behind the famous apocalyptic line 'time shall be no more'), while ASV/NIV/ESV/NWT/TNM all read 'no more delay', taking chronos there as the WAIT itself rather than time as a category. The oath's own next word, 'but' (Revelation 10:7), leans toward delay: something specific is about to happen, not time itself ending. → first discussed at Acts 1:7
